Aya

Hey God above, Please tell me what you thought, By making me a stain on life. There’s just no way, how could you Have meant to put me here? Or else, please say you’re sorry. If they saw that I prayed to you like this, Breaking the law that’s out for me, They’d hunt me down, shred my heart, But that’s nothing new, So that law does not matter. But someone tell me, Do you expect me to keep on Living, breathing, dying like this, Being spit in the face each day? The sidewalk sank a centimeter, And like it sinks my last hope. Am I allowed to Imagine being anywhere but here, Ask for a redo on my own life? Am I allowed to merely exist? But Big Brother’s always watching, So God, are you looking down too? But I guess it’s fine, I can live with no answer. But I guess it’s fine, I guess it’s really fine. But I guess it’s fine, this is just the way it is. But I guess it’s fine, I guess it’s really fine. Hey God above, You must be joking here, How else could it come to this? I realized

can't love you enough by okapi-queen, literature

Literature

can't love you enough

“Thank you so much,” The same worn words from me I find myself repeating them Whenever I’m with you It can’t be right, You’re giving me your all And in return, there’s nothing that Soothes your loneliness Having never known someone as kind as you, My head overflows to the brim with: I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know And you won’t admit it but I can tell I’m no better than a pebble as a person Barely showing signs of affection or a soul So

Goodnight Mankind by okapi-queen, literature

Literature

Goodnight Mankind

To know that wherever you end up You’d find someone who’d wish to stay near Never knowing how sweet that must be, I doubt that moment will happen for me As much as I like to dwell on these feelings, The full moon tonight makes me feel selfish for it Even if mankind is better without me, I will always look at them through the Endless love from God The way they talk and laugh The way they try so hard They make up a beautiful world That doesn’t need me I like to think of how every one of them Tuck themselves safely into bed and Softly fall asleep I hope their homes are warm, I hope their heads are clear, As I lay awake and

Quarantine by okapi-queen, literature

Literature

Quarantine

So, humanity learned We never had that much control Said, these glass screens are death Now they’re the life that’s left This the world-end you dreamt? Stuck at home in pajamas My normal holds its breath, How long until it’s gone? The dust specks dancing up and down, Bask in warm sunlight The days are longer than I once thought, Told by warm sunlight Had yet to say to you Those three words I’ve saved up An open window for God, Even online he’ll speak So, humanity learned We never had that much control When will I see once more, You with my own eyes? The dust specks dancing up and down, Bask in warm sunli

Although by okapi-queen, literature

Literature

Although

Never in need of anyone, Peaceful enough as it was, With infinite alternatives within your reach But you still wanted to make something from nothing, And so humanity was born. Knowing well of the risk, You did not hesitate Speaking the life into fresh dirt, History began when you said those words. Friedrich Nietzsche, Fyodor Dostoevsky, You thought of them in your design. Ungrateful entitlement, Deceptive pridefulness, Despite those destructive flaws, You still went to look for them Man and God face to face, Paradise on planet earth, Not knowing of ugliness, Though it didn’t last too long So why, so why Did you love humanity? I&#

Closure by okapi-queen, literature

Literature

Closure

Every now and then, that same sweet scent Of strawberry perfume, Fills the air and my mind with Memories I saved of you And I rewind that same sweet story, The one when we were friends, Except there’s no closure That satisfies “The End” —“Closure”— I use to think we’d meet again, A coincidence to be, But reality: it’s been five years, The credits finished rolling. And it’s strange to think since that time, Your life continued on. As close as we once were, You’re not relevant anymore. Do you still wear your hair in braids? What are you thinking about now? Are you happier wh

Separate by okapi-queen, literature

Literature

Separate

Hey mom and dad, Got something to say, I met someone and I really like him. He likes me too and We’ve been praying that You’d accept even though I think you won’t- And it’s those words I’ve thought over But could never find the strength to say. And ‘til then, The space between you and I Will stay as wide as it is now, Unless I, Just why can’t I say it? Don’t I know it’s worth it? Because if it weren’t for The God above who saved me, Or his intervention that brought you to me, I’d say it’s not worth fighting for anymore And here you are, softly smiling, Waiting longer

For a little longer by okapi-queen, literature

For a little longer

Woke up at around ten-thirty this morning, The same as every morning this summer. It’s just, I stay up past 2 am talking to him, And now he’s back texting “good morning.” Even the sound my phone rings, That high pitched ding I gave him, Stops everything on my mind at that moment. But I just woke up, you see, And since I’m not sure how to feel yet, I’ll answer after I sleep some more. If this heartache is something I can’t ignore, God, please tell me you’re behind it. ‘Cause even though I smile at the thought, I rather let it die now if it’s not meant to be. Once again, it’s

That I Lived by okapi-queen, literature

Literature

That I Lived

Things like dreams and looking back someday Seemed fictional to me. Convinced what I’ve seen was all I’d ever know, It felt right to be content and wait to die. Now I watch my reflection in the train window, Somewhat older but just beginning. And as the skyscrapers rise against a sunrise, I realize only now’s the first time That I’ve lived, Understanding what it meant When God said, “It’s done.” Or wonder about the future without fearing- Who’d have thought? Even though, The world hardly changed Around the me who has, I’m so grateful That I lived through it. Things like love and holdin

Literature

Passionate

Practice exams just came back I can’t say it was uplifting My score’s less than fifty Even after months of studying And you took a glance and shrugged at yours Without caring too much for the subject, Your test score is a guaranteed hundred What’s a person like me Doing in a class like this? Something that you call easy I can only hope to guess right They say if you like the things you do Then it should be a breeze to you Well, whoever said that didn’t take AP tests You are so Distracted and obnoxious Yawning in your hand Collecting some credits For some goal you don’t know Meanwhile, Here I am trying To mak

Monster Watch Update 2021

3 min read

AKA: Where the Monster Watch comics are going, finishing up the poems, thank you's, and the last comic draft Monster Watch is an ongoing project I created while I was still in high school back in 2016. It’s a story told through poetry, drawings, and its comics series. The main characters Kathleen and Soleil hold a special place in my heart. It’s now been two years since I last updated the comics series. As much as I enjoyed working those three years I worked on the comic, for a long time I’ve been having trouble coming back to work on the story. I realized its because I don’t like where the story currently is. Somewhere near the start of the time I began creating and posting the webcomic, I changed the original direction of the story. While I tried to move the comics along from the old story to the new, I found it becoming more difficult to do with where the comic eventually ended up. This year I came to the decision that I will start over with the comics. In the meantime, I will no
